Update 12-13-2012 What are they hiding? Chaffetz: State Dept Hiding Benghazi Survivors http://ibourl.com/1brs
I'm not concerned about Political Correctness anymore
It's become a "gotcha game" that the left uses to demonize anyone that disagrees with perpetual increase in the size of the bureaucracy.
The administration with the help of a pandering media continues to ignore answering questions about what happened when 4 Americans were killed in Libya just days before an election
Now we are being led into a protracted propaganda campaign that has been brilliantly orchestrated by our own Government to focus our attention on minutia involving the tragedy
It's amazing that while other countries heeded the warnings and moved their diplomats out of Benghazi our administration - State Department - White House - CIA - the whole bunch of them - were too stupid to protect our diplomats. But they were...
At the end of the day let's not forget that many of us will continue to believe - until proven otherwise that it's entirely plausible that the following happened that tragic day
During a "full court press" to make sure that President Obama won re-election all attention to the business of the nation - the responsibility of the Executive branch of Government was ignored
It was even more than that - filtered - no news would be allowed to be reported that would cast any negative light on President Obama with any voter block he saw as critical to his re-election
One big US voter block the Muslim voter block was part of the myriad critical niches that the President had to win - at any cost
When the stuff hit the fan that day - September 11th - the anniversary of the New York Terrorist attacks I think a worried group consisting of the President Obama - Secretary Clinton and all their key advisers watched the drone tapes live and made a political decision and it was...
"Hey Guys - Let's Hope our people live and Let's Hope this situation Changes... but let's not intervene with force because we MIGHT kill innocent civilians and that MIGHT affect our US Muslim vote and besides if it goes bad for our diplomats the "main stream" media will help cover us until after the election"
Was that said?
That's my opinion - but I doubt we will ever get the truth

Elections have Consequences
You will hear - once again - the Obama Administration repeatedly tell their friends in the liberal media that "Elections have consequences" - or words to that affect.
All the platitudes about hope and change and compromise that we heard the last few days leading up to the election are now being purged from the memory of all of the liberal media and the administration talking points.
Since the President's reelection there have been lot's of lay-offs in anticipation that some industries - like the Coal Industry - will be further attacked by their own Government and other companies in many industries are cutting back employment knowing that the unaffordable Obamacare will be fully implemented
Today the President held a press conference where he claimed that the vast majority of American's had agreed with him that tax increases were the right thing to do.
“A majority of Americans agree with my approach,” he said at the White House, citing his victory over Republican Mitt Romney on Tuesday. “We can’t just cut our way to prosperity. The wealthiest Americans have to pay a little more in taxes.”
That's not true on several levels
24 states voted for Mitt Romney out of 50 - that's hardly a mandate
The popular vote will ended up being about 51% to 49% Obama versus Romney.
That's hardly a mandate to do anything
Harry Reid's Senate has managed not to come up with a budget in 4 years. That's unprecedented - but the President has not applied any pressure to get the Senator to get that fixed.
Now the talking heads at ABC - CBS - CNN - MSNBC will begin the mantra that it's the selfish Republicans in the House who are holding the country hostage. While the President takes off on another "tour" - this time Southeast Asia for 4 days.
I hope the Republican controlled House stands firmly on the side of jobs and does not cave in regarding raising taxes. It's the right thing to do. Even it means going off the "fiscal cliff"

A 2nd Obama Term?
Well it's just a couple short days before we elect a President of the United States
I hope the level of contentiousness subsides early and I hope it's because Mitt Romney has an overwhelming - stunning victory - a surprise mandate and loud repudiation of the governing style of Harry Reid - Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. I hope
But if it doesn't happen. If President Obama wins a second term....
Be prepared for life with a second term...
Obamacare
Full implementation of the Health Care Law means with it we will begin to see rationing. Already kidney transplant procedures have changed to discriminate against elderly. More doctors will retire then enter medicine and it's likely that medical colleges will see declines in enrollment. Medical Insurance costs will go up and your private medical information will become part of the Government's database.
Cap and trade and Fuel Costs
You can already hear the repeated "global warming" cries coming from Al Gore and the radical left. A second term President Obama won't get congressional approval for new legislation but he doesn't need it. He can simply use the EPA as he has to ratchet up the regulation and continue to increase fuel cost
Supreme Court
Impossible to predict but interesting to consider. If we swap one liberal judge for another - no big deal. But if the court drifts further left it has decades of affects.
Debt
The President's own budget office predicts he will oversea an increase in the national debt to $20 trillion. That means
Unemployment
More Americans are going to be unemployed with the combination of Energy job losses and jobs that will be exported out of the US to avoid the expense and effect of ObamaCare. It's inevitable.
Inflation & Currency
With 4 more years of a weak economy it's conceivable that a 2nd Obama term could avoid severe inflation because employment will be so weak but one thing is for sure. Eventually the debt will have to be repaid and the only way a government can do that is to inflate the currency - increase taxes significantly or a combination of the two.
Miscellaneous
After 4 years of declining birth rates during the President's first term I'd expect that trend to continue. Couples will be reluctant to bring children into this economy. Who can blame them. My guess is that means an increase in abortion and the continued likelihood of future generational conflict in the US's future. At some point young people - with too many old mouths to feed and too little income to do it with will have to make changes
Go Mitt Romney
I hope the level of contentiousness subsides early and I hope it's because Mitt Romney has an overwhelming - stunning victory - a surprise mandate and loud repudiation of the governing style of Harry Reid - Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama. I hope

Northeast Tragedy - New Political Low
My heart - and my prayers - goes out to the people in the Northeast affected by the storm that hit the east coast a couple days ago.
It's a tragedy that's just unfolding and by the looks of it will go on for weeks if not months. Projections I've seen on power outages are going to continue until well into next week. People are without lights, heat, food and gasoline. The few people I know personally in that area that I've been able to reach by phone are getting anxious.
4,000,000 homes and businesses are still in the dark and the death toll is now near 100.
Help is on the way and we owe gratitude to every one of those first responders but...
I'm ashamed to hear that politics has been inserted into the tragedy
Here are my 3 main "Shame on you's" so far
#1 President Obama
President Obama's close personal confidant - former White House staffer - current Mayor of Chicago - Rahm Emanuel - famously said during the fiscal crisis "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before" and once again we see that philosophy in play
Why did the President take up valuable resources to go do a Press opportunity with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie The obvious answer was he values the public relations value of having himself on center stage with a popular governor - More - than he cares about the number of first responders that had to be diverted to Presidential guard duty
It's a crisis - the President took advantage - that's what he's done for 4 years
Shame on you Mr President
#2 Mayor Bloomberg
What the heck is he thinking diverting huge generators for the public relations value of the New York Marathon? I'm in favor of emaciated athletes running for hours through the streets of the Big Apple as much as the next guy - but I'd rather see 400 homes with 400 families have heat in their homes and I'd rather see the athletes stay out of the congested airports and roads
Shame on you Mr Mayor
#3 The not so magnificent 7 - Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Sting, Jimmy Fallon, Brian Williams and Matt Lauer
Enabled by what increasingly looks like the office Obama campaign channel - NBC - these numbskulls are having what they want us to believe is a charity event for the victims

News flash gang of 7 - it would be best if the people in crisis were out of crisis before you did a last minute campaign event. Once again you see the lack of compassion. This event will take up LOTS of resources that hurting Americans could use - security - power - manpower in general
Shame on the bunch of you
